17 weeks down....lots more to go

So we went to the dr again on Monday and everything is looking good. We have a super active baby on our hands. He/She kept moving from the doppler (which allows us to listen to the heartbeat.) Everytime the doctor would find the heartbeat Baby N would quickly move in another direction. At first he/she was kicking at the doppler which also makes it difficult to hear the heartbeat. But once we finally were able to listen all was going well. The heartbeat was very strong, it was about 150bpm. :)
We were also given our paperwork to make our appointment for our 20 week ultrasound. We are going on Monday, August 10th at 7:45am! :) Hopefully our active little peanut will cooperate for Mommy and Daddy and we'll get to announce whether we're having a boy or girl. We will also announce to everyone our little peanuts name. I'm so excited!! :) We're almost halfway done. Hard to believe.
Other than the sometimes excruciating back pain that I have, which fun fun is normal, everything is going great. I will try to update more often. I'm still not feeling a whole lot. Little things every now and again, but nothing consistent.
Check back soon for more updates. :)

So we're gonna have a baby!

The title of this post pretty much says it all! We're having a baby!! I'm about 15 weeks along. Glad to be out of the first trimester and done with the nausea. I'm feeling good, exhausted all the time but overall, feeling good.
For those of you wondering; yes I am showing. Thought it seemed a hair early to me to be showing already, my doctor says its not, and was sad to see I only gained a pound from my last appointment. (I on the other hand was not!)

We had our first ultrasound at about 10 weeks. We got to hear the extremely fast heartbeat; 171 bpm, and we got to see what looked like a blob on the screen. :) At our last appointment we heard the heartbeat again, but this time we were able to record it! So now we can listen to it whenever we want which is fantastic! We are seeing the doctor every 4 weeks for now. At our next appointment we will schedule our 20 week ultrasound which is when we will hopefully get to find out if we're having a boy or girl. We should be able to post those ultrasound pictures at that time.

John is still recovering from his back surgery and going to school. He has less than a year of school left! YAY!!!!!!! Other than that; there's not much else going on right now. I'm working summer school, which is thankfully almost done! Then I will have a few weeks of R&R before the regular school year starts up.

That's all I've got for now for updates! TTFN!!
